An exoplanet, HD 63433 d, recently discovered just 73 light-years away, provides a unique opportunity to understand the early stages of Earth’s formation. While Earth remains the only known planet to harbor life, the study of exoplanets similar to our own can shed light on the conditions necessary for life to emerge elsewhere in the

Astrobotic’s Peregrine lander, an American spaceship, is set to meet its demise in a spectacular fashion as it burns up in the atmosphere over a remote region of the South Pacific. This unfortunate fate marks the conclusion of its ill-fated mission to successfully land on the Moon. Launched on January 8, the Peregrine lander was

The surface of Mars has always been perceived as barren and devoid of life. However, recent findings suggest that the red planet is concealing an abundance of secrets that have long remained hidden from human observations. Thanks to advanced technology, scientists have now discovered what appears to be giant layered slabs of buried water ice

You might think you know everything there is to know about Beta Pictoris, but prepare to be surprised. This dazzling star, which has been meticulously studied and imaged countless times, has managed to keep a few secrets hidden. Beta Pictoris, the second brightest star in the southern constellation Pictor, is not your average celestial body.

The vast expanse of the universe never ceases to amaze astronomers and challenge our understanding of its evolution. In a recent discovery, astronomers have stumbled upon a colossal structure that defies our current knowledge of the cosmos. It comes in the form of an enormous ring of galaxies, stretching approximately 1.3 billion light-years in diameter.

Astrobotic, a private US space exploration company, is facing a major setback as its lunar lander, Peregrine, is now heading towards Earth instead of completing its intended mission on the Moon. The spacecraft has been leaking fuel since the beginning of its ill-fated journey, causing an onboard explosion and rendering a soft lunar touchdown impossible.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) have long captivated astronomers with their intense bursts of radio waves and mysterious origins. In a groundbreaking development, an international team of researchers has traced the source of the most powerful and furthest-traveling FRB ever detected to a tightly-knitted group of seven galaxies. Through detailed analysis and imagery from the Hubble

The formation of planets has long been a topic of fascination for scientists and astronomers alike. However, recent research using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) has challenged our understanding of this process. New observations presented at the American Astronomical Society’s 243rd Meeting suggest that planet formation around young stars may begin much earlier than

The outer Solar System has long been regarded as a mysterious and unexplored region. Situated beyond the orbit of Neptune, this cosmic expanse, known as the Kuiper Belt, is characterized by a plethora of small, icy rocks and dwarf planets such as Pluto, Eris, and Haumea. However, what lies even farther, in the hypothetical Oort

In a significant blow to American space exploration, organizers of an ambitious commercial mission to the Moon acknowledged on Tuesday that the endeavor will ultimately result in failure. The mission, which aimed to be the first US spacecraft to land on the lunar surface since the Apollo era, experienced a crucial loss of fuel. Astrobotic’s

The United States is embarking on an exciting new mission to return to the Moon! On January 8, the United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket successfully launched, carrying a lunar lander named Peregrine from the commercial company Astrobotic. What makes this launch even more significant is that it carries five science payloads from NASA, marking the

In the vast night sky, constellations have always fascinated and captivated the human imagination. From Leo, resembling a majestic lion, to Orion, the mighty hunter, these celestial configurations have been a source of wonder for centuries. Yet, some constellations require a great deal of imagination to discern, such as Pegasus, the mythical flying horse, or
